One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Randall battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
